Jonathan Kuminga, at $7.6 million in the final season of his rookie deal, shouldn’t be considered untouchable as the deadline approaches. His uncertain contractual future demands the Warriors’ explore all options. He’d be an obvious young chip of interest to Miami in a deal, attached to Wiggins. But he’s also on a mini-surge currently, taking firmer grip of a 30-minute per night bench role. While acknowledging Butler’s ability, sources inside the locker room (and the Warriors’ coaching staff and front office) would rather keep their two best wings than acquire Butler. -via New York Times / January 4, 2025
